I have ditched regular floss and both my 5 and 8 year old use these. The handle makes it easy to maneuver and there is far less waste because there is already the perfect amount of floss on each pick....

Yes, these are fine for children of all ages. The only thing you need to do is show them how to use them properly and monitor their use. They should be slowly wiggled between the contact of the teeth (where the teeth come together, if they are touching) and then moved up and down on either side (both teeth) to remove the plaque from both teeth. The only other problem I see with these as opposed to regular floss is that the same small piece of floss is used throughout the mouth. This means that the plaque and bacteria are essentially being transfered around the mouth to each new area. So what I recommend (as a dental hygienist) is that in between areas the pick is rinsed or dipped in mouth rinse. I love these type of flossers for children or anyone that does not floss because of the hassle of regular floss. You don't HAVE to rinse the flosser, it's just something I recommend if/when possible.

Yes kids can use these . I think that they are much easier for children's little hands to use. I know my kids uses the fun flossers, they love the color and they are flossing more and better since we started using these flossers instead of just the dental floss.. Thank you for reading this reply.

Of course! Some brands actually make these flossers especially for kids with bright colors. But these work just fine! The best part is that they are so easy to use that your kids won't feel like it's as much of a chore to floss their teeth!

Yes these are perfect for an 8 year old! My son is 8 and thanks to these he likes AND flosses every day now. The children's version comes in bright colors in a smaller size and they are easier for them to use than floss. I love them!
